Do you dream about diving?

[cudachaser]

Yeahs....most of the time!

Well, I have dreamt that I went shopping with my girlfriend at the mall. The thing was, the mall was flooded, and we had to dive through it.

That would be one way my wife could convince me to go shopping with her.

I used to dream about being able to breath underwater and being dry while I did it.

Then I started diving and the focus of the dreams moved to being dry underwater.

Then I bought a drysuit and I stopped having the dreams.

Odd eh.

I had a diving dream once. It was the night before I was going to be working the boat for my DM cert. In the dream I was on the boat but something happened not too far from the dock and the capitan had to turn around and take me back. The next morning, I was working on the boat when the engine had some trouble not to far from the dock. We were in a bit of a current and while the capitan and I were trying to tie off the anchor, my left hand became entangled in the line and I broke it (my hand, not the line). Long story short, next time I have a diving dream, i'm paying attention to it.

I could not pass this one up. You do realize you can surf naked, right?

Maybe you do that in New York...I can't imagine using a soft wax and sitting on...and paddling a short board.
"Hey Hank,...your board is growing a beard..."
Not to mention how the local boys at your average Hawaiian break would react. I'm sure they'd be REEEAAAL stoked to see you.

I had a dream about diving long ago that was so realistic that I actually woke up wet.
I was embarrassed at first thinking that I had wet myself, but then realized that the water bed sprung a leak.
What a strange coincidence!

I don't normally dream about diving. But this last weekend, I did two days of a tech class, and the one thing I was worried about was getting overstressed in midwater and ending up disoriented and tumbling to the surface feet first (I have done this before in similar circumstances). It didn't happen -- I was rock solid in midwater.

So night before last, I dreamed I did it. Go figure.

This is just too tempting ...

(lyrics by Kip Adotta)

It was April the forty-first
Being a quadruple leap year
I was driving in downtown Atlantis
My barracuda was in the shop
So I was in a rented stingray
And it was overheating

So I pulled into a Shell Station
They said I'd blown a seal
I said, "Fix the damn thing
And leave my private life out of it
Okay pal?"

While they were doing that
I walked over to a place called the Oyster Bar, a real dive
But I knew the owner
He used to play for the Dolphins
I said "Hi Gil"
You have to yell, he's hard of herring

Think I had a wet dream
Cruisin' thru the Gulf Stream
Ooh Ooh Ooh Ooh
Wet dream

Gil was also down on his luck
Fact is he was barely keeping his head below water
I bellied up to the sandbar
He poured me the usual

Rusty snail, hold the grunion
Shaken not stirred
With a peanut butter and jellyfish sandwich on the side
Heavy on the mako

I slipped him a fin
On porpoise
I was feeling good
I even dropped a sand dollar in the box for Jerry's squids
For the halibut

Well the place was crowded
We were packed in like sardines They were all there to listen to the big band sounds of Tommy Dorsal
What sole

Tommy was rockin' the place with a very popular tuna
Salmon Chanted Evening
And the stage was surrounded by screaming groupers
Probably there to see the bass player

One of them was this cute little yellowtail
And she's giving me the eye
So I figured this is my chance for a little fun
You know, piece of Pisces

But she said things I just couldn't fathom
She was too deep, seemed to be under a lot of pressure
Boy, could she drink
She drank like a . . .
She drank a lot

I said "What's your sign"
She said "Aquarium"
I said "Great, let's get tanked"

Think I had a wet dream
Cruisin' thru the Gulf Stream
Ooh Ooh Ooh Ooh
Wet dream

I invited her to my place for a midnight bait
I said "Come on baby, it'll only take a few minnows"
She threw me that same old line
"Not tonight, I gotta haddock"

And she wasn't kidding either
Cause in came the biggest, meanest looking haddock
I'd ever seen come down the pike
He was covered with mussels

He came over to me and said
"Listen, shrimp, don't you come trollin' around here"
What a crab
This guy was steamed
I could see the anchor in his eyes

I turned to him, I said
"A-balone, you're just being shellfish"
Well, I knew it was going to be trouble and so did Gil
‘Cause he was already on the phone to the cods

The haddock hits me with a sucker punch
I catch him with a left hook
He eels over
It was a fluke but there he was
Lying on the deck, flat as a mackerel
Kelpless

I said "Forget the cods Gil
This guy's gonna need a sturgeon"
Well, the yellowtail was impressed with the way I landed her boyfriend
She came over to me, she said
"Hey, big boy, you're really a game fish
What's your name"
I said "Marlin"

Think I had a wet dream
Cruisin' thru the Gulf Stream
Ooh Ooh Ooh Ooh
Wet dream

Well, from then on we had a whale of a time
I took her to dinner, I took her to dance
I bought her a bouquet of flounders
And then I went home with her
And what did I get for my trouble
A case of the clams

Think I had a wet dream
Cruisin' thru the Gulf Stream
Ooh Ooh Ooh Ooh

Wet dream
Cruisin' thru the Gulf Stream
Ooh Ooh Ooh Ooh

Wet dream
Cruisin' thru the Gulf Stream
Ooh Ooh Ooh Ooh

Dude, we have to wear so much neoprene up here to surf 10 months out of the year that surfing naked is not an option. If we are lucky we get 2-2.5 months of boardshorts. You're in Belize and I assumed we were discussing one of those secret spot nobody else around for miles type empty 6' barrels.

It's another case of brain torture. There IS no surf in Belize....well I hear there's a break out on Glover's Reef....and this is from people who tell me the currents are strong here. (there is virtually no current) I really miss Hawaii...
